I love these epic bandits that come and go with the times.

Where I live there is the legend of Leonardo Pareja. He ran across Brazil making the police look like a buch of kids, while giving interviews in local radios at cities he came by, telling where he was going next and generally making fun of them. He then gave himself in.

In prison, a rebellion broke out when a very large number of Federal and state authorities were in a meeting there. The inmates obviously wanted to kill the authorities, including the prison warden, kindly called "Nazi" by the inmates. Then, Pareja was taken out from the solitary and made leader of the rebellion. He got up to the water tower with a guitar and a friend and sang some Zé Ramalho, and ended up getting a whole bunch of cars, guns and money so the prisoners could escape.

He went around the whole state making fun of authorities, notably Hitler Mussolini, head of the Civil Police in Goiás. He would stop at bars and buy drinks for everyone, do the interviews routine again, and ended up the only one not being caught.

He turned himself in on a live TV show or something like that, only to be killed later in jail by his cellmate, under suspicious conditions. :(

This is from the time he got on the water tower:

I recently watched a documentary called "A Very British Gangster", about Dominic Noonan (an organized crime figure in the UK), and he was involved in organizing a large prison riot in the UK that went on for days and cost over 50 million pounds in damage. He comes across kind of like a scumbag in the movie but that prison rebellion story reminded me of it.

Jim Mccan was a PIRA volunteer. He was captured, and at the time was the most wanted man in Ireland due to his arm smuggling and shooting of soldiers. He sawed through the bars, and waltzed right in a newspaper headquarters and gave an interview with all the police of Ireland looking for him. A bit like a less badass version of Gabriel's bloke.

He was also a drug dealer, who was an associate of Howard Marks.

I've been watching a show recently on netflix called American Gangsters or something that was put out on BET. I watched an interview about these two brothers who pulled off a bunch of insane heights, made me want to drop this whole communism thing and just become a criminal pulling off intelligent robberies and never having to use force. :cool:

I've read his book, but the film froze on me. Let's start the Marx mob.

His parents must have been either just very uneducated or very bad assholes.

Why would anyone put a guy named "Hitler Mussolini" in a position of authority?

Another robber I like is John Dillinger. He once robbed a bank and then started throwing money at the customers inside saying "I'm robbing the bank, not you!". He also broke out of prison by taking a guard hostage with a fake gun he carved out of wood. Some magician group gave him a "Merlin award" for it.

Or he will get murdered to the point of suicide by a mob in a bunker.
